Supersonic cruise missiles offer the ability to hit a time critical target with precision and lethality from long distances, yet the high speed generates temperatures on the exterior surfaces of the missile that can exceed the limitations of high temperature structural metals like titanium. Also, insulation to protect electronics equipment in the missile is required. One solution that demonstrates ...

The Navy and other DoD components require a media-free, environmentally friendly, rapid, and non-destructive method to remove coatings applied on and aboard Navy ships. Atmospheric Plasma Solutions Inc. (APS) has developed an atmospheric plasma process to accomplish this goal. Current processes for the removal of coatings for shipboard applications are expensive, require massive amounts of energy, ...

Corvid Technologies is pleased to offer the following response to this topic, A09-051 Innovative manufacturing research on forming of large light armor alloy sections resistant to blast and penetration. Corvid is offering to partner with the non-profit research institution Concurrent Technologies Corporation (CTC). We will investigate specialty welding techniques developed at CTC to determine app ...

The point of care (POC) testing device is a very important tool for the Army in many different applications such as assessing the extent and effects of toxic and hazardous chemical exposure during deployments. Currently, a major challenge for POC testing technology is related to achieving multiplex capabilities with high detection sensitivity and quantification. In this proposal, we will apply our ...

The development under this effort will take the innovative 3D feature extraction techniques and concepts implemented in IAVO's GeoGenesisr software, specifically our FeatureXTractTM module, and take them to the next level; making them available for operation usage. Our current 3D feature extraction capabilities provide a streamlined workflow for accurately and efficiently extracting 3D site models ...

The objective of this project is the design, fabrication, testing and evaluation of an affordable, efficient greywater recycling system for Army mobile field kitchens/sanitation centers. The proposed system utilizes a medialess self-cleaning rotary disk particle separation technology to reduce turbidity and suspended solids, in conjunction with an aerator flotation/surface skimmer to remove fats, ...

To achieve a superior, more accurate simulation model for next generation progressive collapse of buildings, Applied Science International proposes use of the Applied Element Method (AEM) as the core solver of a fast running software tool for evaluating structural integrity following a blast or other extreme loading event. Due to its simplicity in modeling, speed of computing, constitutive models, ...

The US Navy currently has large expenses to make ship models by hand for EM testing. Bennett Aerospace proposes a novel manufacturing and fabrication technique to build and assemble models so that they can be easily disassembled and re-assembled. The cost savings will be significant. Bennett Aerospace with its research institution partner will conduct preliminary EM testing of the model proxy deve ...

The objective of this proposed program is to create a cost effective mass production process using Selective Laser Sintering technology (SLS) to produce complex geometry projectiles for the Navy – on a mass production basis. The existing situation is that the US Navy uses complex-geometry flechette projectiles made of high density tungsten with rail-gun technology. Traditional manufacturing for ...

Bennett Aerospace proposes to use existing in-house technology to develop innovative methods to measure high power, wide bandwidth, dynamic beams from active electronically-steerable phased-array antennas. Working with the Navy, we will determine specific requirements, the best antenna and device/component technology, and develop the overall system in the context of both fidelity and cost.
